We got safely out of the driveway. My new method involves using a 3-point turn in front of the garage to prevent the need for backing out, since the turnaround is FILLED with snow. Tomorrow I may go out and start pounding the ice with the sledge hammer. It makes me a little nervous negotiating past the vehicles with all the refrozen meltage. Just a little too close for comfort.

The roads were not bad, though some places on the rural highways were not yet cleared to two lanes. I saw numerous places we would have been trapped had we made it off the gravel roads, yesterday.

At least we've replenished the peanut butter, eggs and cheese! Some things are hard to get along without, for us softies.

And Ritz crackers. I believe Ethan would be lost without his mid-morning snack of crackers, peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Internet-wise, our provider is having some problems, so Ma is back on the modem, at the moment. But on the bright side, we're saved the hassle of those taped calls.

Now, I really must water my plants. This dying herbage around the house does my reputation no good.

I sure could use a decent housekeeper.
